Property Description
Located on Highway 285 at the top of Poncha Pass, this 49.5-acre commercially zoned property offers high visibility, existing income, and serious development potential. With CDOT-approved access for 52 RV sites and key infrastructure already in place, it is positioned for RV park expansion, adventure tourism, or a multi-use commercial venture.
Currently supporting an off-road rental and tour operation, the property includes a 1,800 square foot finished office with storefront entry, private office, and two restrooms. A 3,600 square foot heated steel-frame shop features a concrete slab, tall bay doors, car lift, power, and a mezzanine for storage or expansion. The 1,800 square foot residence includes 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, vaulted ceilings, granite counters, and an open-concept layout. Utilities, a private well, and a septic system are already in place. The business may be negotiable with the right offer and currently operates snowmobile trips out of Cottonwood Pass and Marshall Pass, and ATV trips out of Marshall Pass, North Fork, Ute Trail, and Mineral Basin.
Just 9 minutes from Poncha Springs and 17 minutes from downtown Salida, this site sits directly on a heavily trafficked recreation corridor connecting to Monarch Ski Area, O'Haver Lake, the Sand Dunes, multiple hot springs, and trailheads. Ideal for a destination RV park, tourism or recreation business, live/work headquarters, or a hybrid commercial concept with room to grow. County approval is required to activate the RV site plan.

- REALTOR ® / Broker Associate License ID: FA.100108858
With more than 20 years in Douglas County, I bring both local knowledge and a personal understanding of how our housing needs change through different seasons of life. As an empty nester who has also experienced multi-generational living firsthand, I especially enjoy helping clients think through what they need from a home today—and what will serve them well in the years ahead.
My approach to real estate is shaped by a diverse professional background. I earned a law degree and spent years in senior corporate leadership, including leading a business division responsible for product acquisition and development, sales, marketing, and overall performance. Today, alongside our real estate business, we own a residential remodeling and handyman company. That combination brings business leadership, strategic negotiation, marketing expertise, legal education, and hands-on knowledge of homes to every transaction.
For sellers, I help determine what’s worth doing—and what isn’t—to prepare and position a home for the best possible result. When updates make sense, our pay-at-close renovation option can help coordinate practical improvements without requiring upfront payment. For buyers, I bring the same thoughtful approach to evaluating a home’s condition, potential, functionality, and long-term value.
Above all, I’m a calm, strategic, and hands-on partner who believes great representation is personal. Whether I’m developing a pricing strategy, negotiating on your behalf, coordinating contractors and staging, or hanging curtains before photos, I treat your move with the same care I would my own.
